SWOSU Plans 5K Run and Walk to Benefit Relay for Life

Runners and walkers are encouraged to register for the upcoming “Tough Enough” 5K Run/Walk planned Saturday, March 8, at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford.

The 9 a.m. run/walk will benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event that will be held later this spring at SWOSU.

Alta Benner, director of the Collegiate Activities Board at SWOSU, said runners and walkers are expected from several states for the USATF certified event.

Entry fee is $20 and a free brunch will be held after the race/walk. Non-runners/walkers can enjoy the brunch for $3. There will also be various prizes.
